Tetanus injection is fine as it will protect you against this disease.
Cleaning wound with soap water is very effective in reducing risk of rabies infection. That's very effective first aid. Then rabies vaccination or immunoglobulin is recommended based on wound..
But now after 16 years..there is no need to worry.
